One Time in the Summer Lyrics

I saw you one time

You were sitting on a swing

Carrying all the things

That memories bring

I remember one time

When you laughed like a child

But spoke like a teacher

And wept sweet and wild

Like the rain in the summer

I saw you one time

When your hands were just as living

And your eyes were hard and smooth

And your breath was just as giving

I remember one time

In the park in the summer

We were both almost children

And maybe nearly forgotten

I remember in the summer

I saw you one time

You were all out of breath

With earth under your fingernails

And you were frightened to death

I remember one time

When you carried me home

I was all out of time

You had outgrown your innocence

I remember in the summer

I saw you one time

It may have been the last

When my heart wept for words unspoken

Softly buried in the past

I remember one time

I was in love

But we were just children then

It couldn't have mattered

What could it have mattered?
